why is the blockchain download 60+ days behind? it says its always up to date, but ive been syncing for the last 6 hours
Check your 'diff' command in the daemon window. If it shows the correct height (308,487 as I write this but you can check yourself on chainradar) then your download is
not 60 days behind. The message you get indicates that a peer is behind, probably stuck on the wrong fork after the attack in September. Safe to ignore.
It is on block 250,000 or so right now, so based on this the download is out of date. I noticed something was wrong when I first downloaded it - file size was 2.3GB while my machine had a blockchain of 2.5GB. Last sync I made on my copy was end of October (26th iirc)
